I've been trying exercises for all parts of the traps and I found the MIDDLE trapezius is worked the best with:
- Reverse flies (those for posterior delt) hit the middle traps like 100%
- Wide barbell and wide cable rows hit them like 75-80%
But what about deadlifts? They make my traps sore, but how much do they work the middle section? 50%? 60%?

do bent over shrugs if you wanna hit it directly

these both are actually really good trap exercises. You have to clinch your shoulder blades at the end of the movement. I would add face-pulls to the list, again, clinch your shoulder blades for full trap activation

The big question would be: Can one use deadlifts (and maybe adding snatch grip deadlifts) as the only exercises for the middle section of the traps?
